Ahh, that makes sense (the undefined first PV) and explains why the 'current-controller' is not the 'default-controller' for one of the LUNs It doesn't seem to matter if it uses the other device. I think it just causes the array to do a tresspass and swap controllers. The downside being that I can't reliably balance the I/O across the two controllers. But that's not catastrophic. I'm using lvm1, which I don't beleive has an lvm.conf - correct ? thanks On Fri, Mar 05, 2004 at 09:07:41AM +0000, Joe Thornber wrote: > On Fri, Mar 05, 2004 at 11:12:38AM +1100, Franc Carter wrote: > > LVM appears to do the 'right thing for me' in that it recognises > > that the the two PVs are one (I assume via the UUID) and ignore > > the second LUN. > > Yes, LVM writes a label to the start of a PV to identify it. > > > I'd like to know if this is just good luck, or if it's behaviour > > I can rely ? > > I don't think it's defined which of the 2 devices LVM will choose, > does this matter ?
